Laser treatment with immediate dental implant placement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a diode laser to clean the tooth socket right after removal helps a new dental implant heal better and faster. It is for people who need a front tooth replaced and want to have the implant placed in the same visit as the tooth extraction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a severely damaged front tooth that must be removed and cannot be saved with fillings, root canals, or other treatments.
- The tooth must be loose because of gum disease (grade 2 mobility or more) or have deep decay, dead nerve, or root decay that can't be repaired.
- Your dentist must confirm that the tooth socket has enough healthy bone around it, including at least 2 mm of bone below the socket, and no missing bone on the cheek side.
- You should have good oral hygiene habits, like regular brushing and flossing.
- You must not be a heavy smoker.
- You cannot have taken certain bone-affecting medications (like bisphosphonates) in the past year, and you should not have major uncontrolled medical conditions.

This study tests placing an implant right after removing a damaged upper front tooth, using a special technique to keep a small piece of the tooth root to help support the gum. It may lead to a more natural-looking result and preserve the bone in the area.
This study tests whether using a special laser after a lower-jaw tooth extraction can help the socket heal faster and grow new bone. It may benefit people who plan to get a dental implant later.
This study tests a way to place a dental implant immediately after removing a hopeless back tooth, and to help the gums and bone heal better. It may help people who have enough healthy gum and bone and can follow strict mouth-care rules.
This study tests whether removing a failing front tooth and inserting a dental implant immediately (in the same visit) is safe and effective. If you qualify, you might get a new tooth in one procedure instead of waiting for healing.
When a tooth is removed, the bone around it often shrinks. This trial tests a technique where a small piece of the tooth's root is left in place (the 'socket shield') along with special blood-based growth factors to help preserve the bone and support a new dental implant placed right away.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
